Sisters and Nuns are altogether two different things...

If you're going to try to correct and educate people, you should actually tell them what you're alleging is the proper distinction and nomenclature...

A major traditional distinction between a nun and a religious sister is that nuns are members of enclosed religious orders and take solemn religious vows, while sisters do not live in the papal enclosure and formerly took vows called "simple vows".
